I still have some of his hats, the ones he used to wear to ski to make others smile or laugh. I gave away most of them already, but there were a few. Yesterday I finally parted with all but one. His cherished bowler hat, a real one, satin lining and all. We even bought a hat box for it. It&#39;s been tucked away all these years. I brought it upstairs, intending for it to go too, and then...
